Prep Yourself
Make sure to contact your local doctor to see if you are healthy enough to do this detox.
To prepare myself for this detox, I needed to ween myself off of meat. I was eating a high protein diet . It was meat, meat, more meat and veggies. I spent a week and a half weening myself off of coffee in the morning and the meat throughout the day. I started eating more veggies and less meat. I replaced my daily coffee with hot tea with nothing in it. I started eating a lot of cucumbers and carrots and drank a ton of water. I started replacing one meal with juice a couple days before my detox.
Juicer used: My amazing boyfriend bought an Omega Juicer. It gets all of the juice out of the vegetables. You do not want a juicer that is going to make pulp in your juice. I put the juicer together wrong the first time I used it and got pulpy juice. It was nasty, trust me.
Meditation- Ok Ok so your thinking.. meditation. Yeah I am going to skip over this part. Call it what you will, but this helped me through days 1-3. Your are having hunger pain and are grouchy ( not because your actually hungy but we will get to this part soon) What helped me was to sit in a quiet area and just breathe and tell myself that I am not "starving" this is temporary and it will pass. I will nourish my body with the juices.
Water-Be ready to drink at least 2 Liters of water a day! I suggest going to Walmart and getting a water jug that shoes how much you are drinking.
Grocery List- I have a Sams Club Membership so I went there and bought anything I could in bulk. A lot of people think this is more expensive to eat this way but think about how much extra you spend a week on fast food or coffee ( on top of your grocery shop) You'll appreciate it in the long run.
What I bought- A bag of apples, a bag of lemons, ginger roots, kale, celery and cucumber.
Good Luck!
